Rated 5 out of 5 by Amanda My favorite workout companion
I always appreciate when people review products, so I've decided to pay it forward! I love this product and I honestly would be lost without it-it's my best buddy. I don't trust treadmill or other equipments' heart rate monitors, but I do trust this one! It's great that you can input all of your personal info (ie, height, weight, male/female, etc.). It's comfortable and PINK (for all you pink lovers like me out there). The data storage is such a great feature and even though the controls aren't super clear, you catch on really quickly. The chest strap is also very easy to use and clean, just make sure to read all the directions. I would definitely recommend this HRM if you're trying to keep your heart rate and calories burned in check during a workout!

Rated 5 out of 5 by kaydee0711 Necessary fitness tool!
The heart rate monitor itself is accurate, automatically connects to my cardio machine at the gym (arc trainer usually), and is VERY easy to use. I bought mine on my way to the gym, sat in the car for less than 5 minutes to open it and get it on, and was good to go. And the strap is indeed comfortable, I was worried about that feature and am happy to say I don't even notice when I'm wearing it. The pink watch itself is cute (bonus points!) and very comfortable.
I wanted to get a HRM to simply see how hard my body was actually working, I wasn't too focused on calorie count until I had this little baby on. Seeing how many calories youre burning in a workout (accurately so, as opposed to the reading on the cardio machine) is motivation in itself. I find myself pushing to get to the next 100 calories, sometimes burning 1,000 calories in a single work out!
Its a really cool training tool, I have recommended it to all my friends, whether theyre trying to loose weight or just for general fitness.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kb822 Great Buy!
Prior to purchasing this hrm, I had an older version of the Polar hrm. I had also tried a couple without the chest strap, as well as 2 other brands with it. This is, by far, the best one I have purchased to date. Some reviews say that you can't enter information into it to get an accurate heart rate...this is inaccurate. I entered in my age (DOB), gender, height and weight, which I assume are used in the calculation for calories burned and the training zone. One reviewer complained about the chest strap...this one is actually quite comfortable, and I think it is a necessary inconvenience for accurate measurement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Seafairgal A MUST have
I am a calorie and heart rate counter. I work out every day and needed a high quality calorie counter. I do Zumba and so I needed to know how many calories I was burning during class and during weight lifting. At first I had bought a New Balance Watch that was horrible. Paid $70.00 for it. So I went to Dicks and found this item. The strap that goes around - under your breast is super comfortable. Hardly even notice it. Gread Product. Bottom line you pay for what you get.

Purchased an FT4 heart monitor with the H1 transmitter. Worked great for 3 months. Did everything instructed for use and maintenance. Just stopped transmitting. Even replaced battery. Zippo. Great while it worked. At least I got 3 months out of it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen2Bfit A great tool for aerobic fitness
I wanted to accurately monitor my heart rate while running and performing other aerobic exercises. I needed a watch that would fit my small wrist as all of the men's watches were too big. After much research, I purchased this Polar FT4 in pink. The watch fits me perfectly with the ability to fit a good range of wrist sizes.The transmitter strap that goes around your rib cage is very comfortable (you forget it's on) and it's machine washable. I am pleased with the pink color and it is very close to the picture of it. The display digits are nice and bold so that you can easily see the numbers at a quick glance. It is user friendly and has a nice bar graph mode to see your progress at a glance. It chimes when you are out of your programmed zone which I find is helpful when you cannot look at your watch all the time. The watch does not have to be on your wrist to work. Sometimes I place the watch in front of me on my treadmill console so that I can watch my heart rate while I need to concentrate on my form and my breathing during more intense runs. I run at very specific heart rates, so this is important to be able to see it so that I can adjust my intensity during the workout. I haven't tried putting it on my bicycle handle bar yet, but I would think that would work as well if you're racing. I have not tried it in water yet, so I do not know how well it works when it is wet. The watch lets you know how long your workout was, how many minutes/sec. you were in your zone, and how many calories you burned. The first time I wore it to Zumba, I was amazed at my heart rate and how many calories I burned which I otherwise would have never known if I did not have this watch on. It really motivates you! It is fun to wear even when you are not exercising.

Rated 5 out of 5 by marth Just what I needed
I wanted a heart rate monitor for when I go to the gym and work out. I am short and holding on to the heart rate strips on some of the equipment can be difficult. This monitor is great the chest strap is very comfortable and I do forget I have it on. It works great with all the gym equipment, (you do need to check your gym to see what there equipment will read) my gym has polar ready equipment. The watch is very comfortable and adjust well to my small wrist. The only down fall is you need to remember to stop the timer after each work out, and I do wish it was easier to log my work outs online.

Rated 5 out of 5 by theotherkels Exactly what I was looking for
I'm quite pleased with this purchase - I was looking for a heart rate monitor that would give me a much more accurate measurement than the standard exercise equipment monitors. Everywhere I read, Polar was the recommended brand - so I purchased the FT4 (the FT7 offered more training diary slots but since I track my training elsewhere that wasn't important). The setup was intuitive and easy, the wrist band is comfortable and the chest band is actually so comfortable that I often forget I have it on after my workout.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Failed Expectations Happier with my Garmin
I was in need of a new HR monitor bc I had worn out the strap on my Garmin FR 60. It was the second Garmin I had purchased in about a 4 yr period, always very happy with it. I decided to try this Polar monitor because most of the reviews were positive, it had a different type of band that I thought might last longer & I would save money due to the less expensive cost. Within the first few times of wearing it, the chest strap had tore up my skin & it was only picking up my HR about 50% of the time. Now, my Garmin would need adjusting sometimes, but it would always come back. The Polar is just too uncomfortable & hasn't been reliable. I feel like I've thrown away $90. I'm ordering a Garmin FR70 today.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Amanda419 Easy to use and comfortable
This product is really easy to use and review my previous workouts. I was worried about the elastic band around my chest because I do a high-impact cardio, jumping around workout but it stays in place and I forget it's even there!!!
